I couldn't get on here for the last hour!! I was getting really frustrated. Even phoned another forumite to check it wasn't just me and she'd had others doing the same. I need help So thanks for starting this support group.
OK, so this dancing stuff is addictive, but because we can only get our fix every so often at fixed times, we can more-or-less keep it under control...
But these forums are available 24/7!
Here are some of the signs of addiction...
- It affects your work and social life
- You lie to friends about your use
- You try to rationalise it
- You lose interest in other things (e.g. other web sites)
- You need a regular "hit"
- You become argumentative
I think there's a lot of us who can identify with a few of these...
So I created this thread to help us all out...
There's various ways to address your addiction – limiting your use or even going cold turkey have been talked about here before.
So, if you'd like to share, or offer support, why don't you post a message to this thread.

FASG? What sort of an acronym is that?
We need a decent acronym if we want people to take us seriously, you know. And a TLA at that.
Tsk, call yourself a geek....
I don't have the 'fixed times' option - its often months in between MJ dancing for me probably one reason why I spend so much time on hereOriginally Posted by ducasi
Work - only when things are quiet or when busy gives me something to do to stop me working straight through without a break (which I can do if I get really focused).Originally Posted by ducasi
I watch less TV - but I don't consider that a bad thing!Originally Posted by ducasi
Have been meaning to do this, and didn't quite manage it last week, or so far this week - so guess I must be addicted...Originally Posted by ducasi
Good to know that if I want to go cold turkey, the FASG would be here to help me.
Of course that means I would need to log on to get the support from the FASG
